Talk to your endocrinologist and let them figure out what works best for you.  If you are not tolerating something well, there are other options.  I am sure you know you have to be patient and willing to try a few things and document how they are working for you.  I know that process can be frustrating at times, but a good doc will work with you to figure all of this out. 

 Years ago my doctor put me on regular metformin, and I took it about a month and had the same problem with diarrhea.  So this time she wanted me to try the extended release, so that's what I'm taking.  And yes, I take it with dinner.  And I had the sleeve done, not a bypass.  

I don't remember where I had read about sulfonylureas, but when my doctor mentioned that, it sounded familiar, but I'm not sure why that is the case.  I tolerated glipizide well.    

Guess what I'm asking about is what meds, if any, should not be used after bariatric surgery.  From the research I've done, most often either all diabetic meds are stopped altogether, or reduced.  But is there a reason why one class of meds like sulfonylureas should be avoided after surgery?
